Situated c. 30m N of St. Caimin's Church (CL019-009011-) on Inis Cealtra and obscured by wooden fencing. A small subcircular stone (L 0.6m; Wth 0.56m; H 0.3m), almost totally moss-covered with a circular basin (diam. 0.35m; D 0.18m) filled with clay. This bullaun may have moved to different locations on the island at various stages. Dunraven (1877, 56) placed it at the W gable of St. Caimin's church and in 1984 it was noted at the N gable (McNamara 1984, 32, no. 3). McNamara also noted a 'round blue sandstone' weighing 5kg in the basin which is no longer present. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 31 August 2015
